Recommended Equipment
Supplies
- potting soil
- dramatic large plants, 3 dracaena plants pictured
- soft billowing filler plants, a 6-pk. of wave petunias pictured
- trailing or spilling plants, 4 lysimachia plants pictured
- lava rocks, (optional)
Instructions
- Fill your flower planter up with a good quality potting soil. If it's especially tall, like the garden vase pictured, you may want to add some lightweight lava rocks to help fill it out and reduce the amount of potting soil needed.
- Choose a dramatic large plant, such as dracaena, as a focal point. Plant it in the center of your planter.
- Add a soft, billowing filler plant, such as wave petunias, around the base of the focal plant.
- Plant a trailing or tumbling plant (lysimachia pictured) that spills over the edges around the outside.
- Water lightly after planting and as needed thereafter.
